Please help to check if my edit is proper.
Hello!
I'm a devotee of predatory arthropods and I'm new to here. I did a large-scale edit on the article of Peruvian giant centipede. Please have a look on it to see if my edit is proper or valid.

Possible Renaming of Category:Anomalocaridids to Category:Radiodonta
Anomalocarididae is an outdated term, now only used for Anomalocaris and Lenisicaris. As the correct term for the group containing (the current definition of) Anomalocarididae, Amplectobeluidae, Hurdiidae/Peytoiidae and Tamisiocarididae is now Radiodonta, I suggest this category be renamed.

Anthogona Britannica
Apparently there is a millipede called Anthogona Britannica which is endemic to the British Isles. It doesn't have an article on Wikipedia. Can we change this? Mjroots (talk) 18:25, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Template parameters
Hi Arthropods! I have put a proposal on Template talk:WikiProject Arthropods about tweaking the parameters of your project banner. Please comment there if you have any questions, thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Nominated Horseshoe Crab to Good Article Status
Hey there!
Just nominated the Limulidae (Horseshoe Crab) article to a Good Article status after adding around 15,000 bytes of content. I'm guessing I'll recieve recommendations from the reviewers, so if anyone wants to help me add them I'd greatly appreciate it.
Redoing an entire article all by yourself is kinda hard, so I'm a little burnt out RenaMoonn (talk) 18:21, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Help for Corosalia article
Greetings, While working on Orphan articles (Category:Attempted de-orphan from April 2024), I found the Corosalia article. Asking for help to provide a Corosalia link in another article. My knowledge of insects is virtually zero, so I'm hoping another editor can get this done. Thanks, JoeNMLC (talk) 20:28, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Aside from it not being an insect (a minor point), the problem here is that the family it belongs to was recently completely reorganized, so the Wikipedia article on the subfamily that Corosalia used to belong to had over 100 genera removed and not re-added anywhere else in Wikipedia (as far as I can see). Corosalia is thus one of a large number of genera that no longer appear as links in any higher taxonomic rank articles. I'd be very surprised if there aren't a lot of harvestman articles that are now "orphaned" in this way. That's not going to resolve any way other than a new classification where all those genera can be assigned to subfamilies, unless you create a "List of Cosmetid genera" article that contains all of them and ignores the fact that most of them don't belong in a subfamily any more.

- Thanks @Dyanega for explaining. Should the article just be PROD for now? It can always be "brought back" again in the future. I know Wikipedia encyclopedia is not a science textbook, so maybe remove the article. I am Okay with any course of action. JoeNMLC (talk) 12:42, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- The article is a valid one. I've added a list of genera unassigned to a subfamily to the family Cosmetidae article so Corosalia is unorphaned. The only other genus with an article is Abria which also is no longer an orphan. I've left the other genera redlinked, although they could be unlinked. — Jts1882 | talk 13:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Done - Thanks @Jts1882 for helping. I removed the orphan tag from Corosalia article. Cheers, JoeNMLC (talk) 14:37, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
